    I'm looking for a horn button that came on 68 Buick's with the simulated wood rim 3 spoke sport wheel.
    The horn button has a brushed stainless finish, and in the center it has a white/silver sunburst and black BUICK script.
    Heck, not only do I need the horn button, I need the whole wheel, but I will settle for the button. Doesn't need to be perfect, but not junk either.
    Here is a pic I found on the board.
    Please PM or email me with what you have. stg1miller@aol.com
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Tom,

    The simulated wood wheels are reproduced and not cheap but you will have a hard time finding an original one without any cracks..

    The horn buttons are hard to find and usually bring a good $ on ebay. Hopefully someone on this board will come through for you.

    Thanks for the info Mike

    I'm thinking of buying the repro Chevelle two bar wood rim wheel that has round holes in the spoke's.
    Still want the brushed Buick horn button though :TU:

    I have a red Sport wheel and matching horn button that I would trade toward "just" the horn button I want :Brow:

    You can buy a Camaro/Chevelle one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HORN...005QQitemZ150013506450QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW) and put a Buick center in it (out of a 69-77 horn cap) until you find the correct one. Only afficianados will know it's incorrect. That's what I did for a couple of years until I found a nice original. I had to give $125 for mine, but it had no cracks in the center piece (and most of them have cracks). Good Luck :TU:

    PS-Someone should think about re-popping the centers since the housings are already being made

    Tom,

    Would you consider selling the red sport wheel and horn button outright ?

    Hi,

    Who has one for sale or knows where to look?
    Any repro's out there would be good too.
